Minor injury.
Costello out with a hamstring?
Senior hurling
Bit of a makeshift defence but they should get away with it.
From midfield up thatâs some team
The bench doesnât look half as strong without Dowling
Good players there but we donât have anyone that is going to change the momentum of a game or produce match winning goals.
He is a huge loss!
Adrian Breen is the best chance of a goal off the bench
Do do do do do
Is Jerome Boylan the only real defender on that bench?
I donât know about OâGrady or Connolly at all.
Crazy how Ronan Lynch isnât deemed good enough for that panel. Heâd thrive in this yearâs championship.
Kiely doesnât rate him.
Pity Dempsey isnât there.
In fairness Ronan Lynch would be a better option off the bench than any of those defensive subs . Be able slot into any position also .
Simon has a goal in him.
Adrian Breen is unproven at this level but is certainly capable of a match winning goal. Pat Ryan has proven he is capable.
The Dow is obviously a huge loss nonetheless.
Itâs a shame Dempsey is unavailable, he was in brilliant form and would have added a lot whether starting or coming on.
He has. I think Breen has a better chance of snaflling a goal out of nothing though
OâGrady is a back, pacy & tough. Connolly was originally covering midfield, covering backline now. Very nice hurler.
All three are young though, all U-21; lack experience at the highest level.
I just donât get it.
Even in a normal year, he could probably slot in for Hannon at any time and do the same job and this year of years he could fill in anywhere and make an impact.
Iâd have him wing back ahead of POL, easily. Ahead of Hanley at midfield or reidy at half forward either. Thatâs before you even look past the subs bench.
